Troubleshooting and Maintenance
Update the Fixture Software
ETC recommends using UpdaterAtor software to manage software
updates. For information on UpdaterAtor, see the
UpdaterAtor
Software Quick Guide and the UpdaterAtor Software Release Note,
which you can download from
You can push newer software versions from a connected fixture to
selected ColorSource fixtures (see table that follows).
Note:
If you have other types of fixtures in your DMX run, you
do not need to disconnect them before pushing the updated
fixture software. The update process will ignore any other fixture
types in the DMX run.
Note:
Not sure what version of fixture software is
installed? The version number appears on the display when the
fixture powers up.
